  • Used to be my go-to, not so much anymore

    I used to love this podcast and looked forward to it every week. Since they’ve added patreon, their regular podcast isn’t the same and feels like they’re just checking a box. It’s unfortunate that they’ve deviated and left us non-patreon subscribers in the dust. Disappointing.

  • Feels like listening to friends

    These ladies introduced me to the idea of maximizing points and miles (I’d been trying to earn points for a bit the slow way) and they explain it in a way that’s easy to understand. I literally feel like I’m chatting with friends when I listen to this weekly podcast, they are just so down to earth and relatable.
